The Şiş Kebap Theorem: A Generic Identification Theorem for Groups of Finite Morley Rank
Ayşe Berkman, Alexandre V. Borovik
This paper contains a new version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank, developing further the results of [4] and [5]. It is prepared fo…
'Decolonisation' of the curricula and some related issues
Alexandre Borovik
University level mathematics in a number of countries is under pressure to `decolonise the curriculum'. This paper considers, as a test case, a possible `decolonisation' of linear…
Is pluralism in the history of mathematics possible?
Jacques Bair, Alexandre Borovik, Vladimir Kanovei +6
Leibniz scholarship is currently an area of lively debate. We respond to some recent criticisms by Archibald et al.

In the Soviet Union a reform movement in mathematics education was triggered by Andrey Kolmogorov in the 1970s, and followed by a counter-reform. This movement was rooted in the ve…
Historical infinitesimalists and modern historiography of infinitesimals
Jacques Bair, Alexandre Borovik, Vladimir Kanovei +5
In the history of infinitesimal calculus, we trace innovation from Leibniz to Cauchy and reaction from Berkeley to Mansion and beyond. We explore 19th century infinitesimal lores,…
Mathematics and Mathematics Education in the 21st Century
Alexandre Borovik, Zoltan Kocsis, Vladimir Kondratiev
Mathematics enters the period of change unprecedented in its history, perhaps even a revolution: a switch to use of computers as assistants and checkers in production of proofs. Th…
